Whenever I search for a program in Gnome Shell's search panel, some contacts from Pidgin will appear. E.g. when I search for Chromium, by typing chr, Chris Andersen will appear. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to disable this function?

Please define your question. For more details on best practices consider reading the FAQ on asking questions. Specifically is this related to Gnome-Do or what? Please describe. Regards,

I think it's pretty clear. It's not related to Gnome-Do. It's just normal gnome-shell behaviour. If you don't know what I'm talking about: sudo apt get install pidgin gnome-shell, then import contacts in Pidgin, after that, log in into a Gnome-Shell session, press the Super key, and start typing a name of one of your Pidgin contacts. His name will appear in the results. I don't want this to happen, the only thing I want to see is applications, directories and files.

Edited your question. "Gnome 3" is very ambiguous since there are two official Gnome 3 shells (the classic Gnome Panel and Gnome Shell) and several others, including Unity, which also has a "search panel".

Great, it works and it's an elegant solution, too. Thanks for telling me how to comment in a .js file, because I was already going with the #s :-P

A more elegant solution would be an extension that removed it, because if gnome-shell updates than you will have to go back in and do it again. Maybe I'll work on that. One of the annoying things I find about the contacts is duplicates from different programs.
